    Sorry it took me so long to reply. We run mainly east of the rockies. No NYC. Midwest mainly but we do have a few longer runs down to Georgia, Florida and OK.

    Ottery is a class outfit. Very well run. You won't be sorry hiring on. Ottery side of things run different places than we do at JLP but not to NYC from the best of my knowledge.

    Agree with the title, tanker is great, lots of different types, mostly professional people to deal with and not many of those.

    Is Schneider tanker doing okay? I'm in the oil field and just got laid off, I'm thinking by best way forward is to start driving again. The Reserve terminal is within 60 miles of my house, do they get a lot of loads in and out of that area?

    I like their O/O load board thing and was thinking of buying a truck and doing that. It would be nice to be home more often than the every other week they promise. I wouldn't mind moving, but unfortunetly I own a home in an oil field town that's pretty much worthless with the industry crash.

    I have 8 or 9 years doing flatbed with some occasional tanker mixed in but I quit driving at the end of 2012 so I'll be limited in who'll hire me.

    Schneider tanker is pretty slow. Good company but slow...at least here in Wisconsin.
